Honghuang: It makes sense that there are four Sanqing, right?

In this way, Qingdi cultivated on Kunlun Mountain for another fifteen years, breaking through to the mid-stage of Earth Immortal, maintaining his youthful appearance, and always appearing in a green robe.

When the eighteen-year term was up, the great voice of the Primordial Beginning arrived as promised, coming from the Jade Void Palace.

"Red flowers bloom in the mountains, green leaves dwell by the pool; they grow together, and though far apart, they are always in each other's thoughts."

"All disciples, come with me to Biyou Palace on Jin'ao Island to pay our respects to your Uncle Lingbao."

Every hundred years, the Master would lead his disciples to Jin'ao Island. The members of the Chan Sect were already used to it, and they said in unison.

"yes!"

To make the performance complete, Qingdi also bowed in Yuanjue Palace. Senior Brother's poem was really... not very literary, but at least it made the meaning clear.

Well, it's good for empty-nest elderly people to have some hobbies after living alone for so long; at least they won't become depressed.

After thinking about it, Qingdi comforted himself.

Afterwards, all the disciples gathered at the entrance of Yuxu Palace. Zhen Yuanzi and Randeng each selected two of their own disciples as a token gesture.

Needless to say, all sixteen of Yuanshi's disciples were present. When Qingdi arrived, all his senior brothers greeted him, and Qingdi returned their greetings one by one.

"Junior brother, you've become an Earth Immortal! That's truly impressive. I've prepared a small congratulatory gift for you; I'll give it to you later."

This is Taotan, with a piece of meat in its mouth.

"Junior Brother Qingdi, your cultivation is progressing very quickly. I have some spiritual fruits here, I'll give them to you later."

This is Kunqian, with the yin and yang energies flowing in his eyes.

"Junior brother, I have nothing, but I have a heart that supports you. You must cultivate diligently!"

This is a rare talent, already at the early stage of the Celestial Immortal realm.

Qingdi was dazed by the three telepathic transmissions and could only reply, "Okay, okay, okay, okay."

The three exchanged knowing glances, their faces beaming with joy. Then, Tao Tan transmitted his voice to the other two.

"Is everything ready? This time at sea, we must ensure our junior brother breaks through to the Celestial Immortal realm!"

Kun Qian and Shi Qi both nodded emphatically, "Good!"

Apart from these sixteen people, Zhen Yuanzi brought his attendants Qingfeng and Mingyue, and Randeng brought his eldest disciple Mingxing.

Yuanshi walked out of the Jade Void Palace, looked around, and nodded with satisfaction. "They are all my good disciples."

Look at Guangcheng, how ethereal and otherworldly he is; look at Yuding, how righteous and awe-inspiring he is…

Look at Taiyi... who is this drunkard?!

Look at Cihang... Why does a grown man like you wear makeup every day? It's outrageous!

Yuanshi turned his head away, saying helplessly.

"Now that everyone is here, let us ascend the clouds."

A huge white cloud emerged from the ground, lifted the twenty-three people present, and flew towards the East China Sea.

Most of the disciples usually cultivate alone, so when they finally get together, they naturally gather in small groups and chat with their fellow disciples.

For example, Taiyi and Taotan are together right now. One likes to drink, and the other likes to eat meat. They are literally drinking buddies and have a very good personal relationship.

"Junior brother, your cultivation will probably surpass mine soon. You're truly a case of the younger generation surpassing the older! Come, let me toast you!"

"We finally get together, why are you bringing this up, senior brother? Forget about cultivation, it's all in the flesh. I'll finish it, you can do whatever you want!"

The two argued and drank until they were completely drunk. Halfway through the drinking session, Taiyi even pulled Cihang aside and asked him to dance for the two brothers to entertain them.

Cihang did not object; in fact, she was quite excited. She changed her white Taoist robe into a light gauze dress and began to dance, leaving Manjushri and Samantabhadra, who had originally intended to refute Taiyi, at a loss.

Qingxu activated the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, and the spirits of seven mysterious birds appeared, chirping and singing along with Cihang's dance, providing accompaniment.

Guang Chengzi and Yu Ding were discussing the Dao, but they couldn't continue their discussion halfway through, so they went over and started eating.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were on good terms with Mingxing, and the three of them went together to find Huanglong Zhenren next to Chijingzi. Qingfeng asked curiously:

"Senior Brother Huanglong, when we returned to Wuzhuang Temple last time, one of our junior brothers asked us why the Dragon Clan had declined. We didn't know either, so we came to ask you."

Upon hearing this, Huang Long jumped up, swung his arms forcefully, and said angrily.

"It's all my grandfather's fault for not listening to my father. He should have attacked the Phoenix Clan first, why did he have to attack the Qilin Clan!"

Chi Jingzi also stood up, pushed Huang Long aside, brought his face close to Qingfeng Mingyue, and whispered.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He wasn't even born during the Dragon and Phoenix Calamity. We should have attacked the Phoenix Clan first."

"Speaking of fighting, we have to mention the recent Lich War. If you ask me, we should..."

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Long leaned closer, pushed Chi Jingzi aside, and said to him.

"How could you possibly understand me? You should..."

As they talked, the two of them started pushing and shoving each other in front of Qingfeng and Mingyue, muttering incomprehensible words like witches, demons, dragons and phoenixes.

Seeing this, Mingxing quietly said to Qingfeng and Mingyue, "Why don't we go find someone else first?"

That's exactly what I was thinking.

"Yes, yes, I had the same idea."

The three of them quickly made their escape and ran to Yun Zhongzi's side, where he was with Kun Qian Shi Qi Ling Bao Qing Di.

Before they even got close, they saw Qingdi take something out of his sleeve and heard him say something from afar.

"Fellow disciples, the road ahead is long, but I happen to have something that can soothe your souls. Take a look—"

The next moment, a flash of green light appeared on the clouds, revealing 108 perfectly square jade pieces.

"This item is called Mahjong. The number 108 corresponds to the number of the heavens, and it can aid in cultivation. It requires four players to play. Would any of you like to give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Shiqi's eyes lit up, and he quickly raised his hand and said, "Me, me, me~"

Kunqian and Lingbao calmed down a bit and looked at Qingdi, saying, "Junior Brother, let me take a look."

Yun Zhongzi glanced at Yuanshi, whose face was ashen, and then shifted his position back a few feet.

"Since the four-person limit has been reached, I will not participate."

"Alright, then you watch us play, senior brother, and make sure Shiqi doesn't cheat; he's the most dishonest one."

"Junior brother! How could I, a cultivator, possibly call out a swindler for my affairs!"

"Alright, alright, it's fine, I'll keep an eye on it."

Yun Zhongzi smiled slightly; this was exactly what he wanted.

"Okay, let me explain the rules first..."

"Okay, I understand!"

"Let's begin."

The card game officially began, and Qingfeng, Mingyue, and the other two watched from afar, only hearing the noisy sounds coming from the card game.

"bump!"

"Damn it!"

"Three, three, three..."

"Self-draw! I won!"

Mingyue nudged Qingfeng with her elbow and whispered, "What is this thing? It looks fun."

"I don't know either, let's just go and ask."

"Alright, let's go!"

"Hey, you two wait for me." Mingxing hadn't even reacted yet when he chased after Qingfeng and Mingyue.

Qingfeng ran the fastest, "Senior Brother Yunzhong, what's this? It looks really fun."

"My junior brother invented something called Mahjong, I think. Are you interested?"

Yun Zhongzi glanced at his master again and, finding that he still hadn't made a move, began to waver.

"Yes, yes, yes, I want to play!"

Mingyue, being the boldest, shouted loudly.

"Great, the four of us can go together!"

The laughter of Qingdi and Shiqi seemed to tickle Yun Zhongzi's heart. He waved his hand, and one hundred and eight jade tablets appeared on the ground.

Above the clouds, everyone has something to do, and everything is done by someone, so everyone is having a great time.

Everyone was happy, except for Yuanshi, who was at the forefront of the clouds manipulating the clouds. His forehead veins bulged as he silently accelerated the speed of the clouds, hoping to land as soon as possible.
